​"The Truth They Said Could Never Be Proven'

 

Before there was James Bond, there was Urbański.

    One Man. Two Lives. The True Espionage Revelations That Rewrite WWII History.

    For over 80 years, the tragic 1943 crash of Liberator AL523 and the death of Polish General Władysław Sikorski was dismissed as a mysterious accident. But history was built on shadows. Meet Bronisław Urbański—the 'Chameleonic Assassin' of the Polish Underground, deep-cover operative for MI6 Section 'D' under Gubbins and Wilkinson, and also he was the elite weapon of the British War Office.

    He was handled directly by legendary British superspy SOE Christine Granville, she was his War Director, Lover and remarkably his relative. Urbański executed missions signed by Winston Churchill himself. His terrifyingly efficient exploits and double life provided the exact genetic DNA for Ian Fleming’s ultimate fictional creation: 007. Of which is now recognized as the actual face for Ian's James Bond see Wikipedia etc. 
    Plus, numerous other Polish resistance groups including the dreaded A.K. Unit 993/W 'Revenge Co' with Zbigniew Szubanski 'Clive' his boss, also Australian Comedian Magda Szubanski's father.

    Bronislaw functioned under the guise for the Polish Government in Exile in London but in reality, he performed tasks for the British Governments War Office. Through SOE Christine Granville. He was also known as the 'King Assassin' and to the Poles the 'White Ghost'. Tasks and mostly assassinations, whilst WW2 was raging on.
   Nothing stopped him, there was nothing he feared, and he always got his target eventually even if it took months!

The Gibraltar Sabotage: Official Investigation Re-Opened

    This isn't historical speculation—it is active criminal and historical justice. Driven directly by the forensic evidence and explosive findings brought to light in Peter Urbański’s published work, top-tier international authorities have reacted:

  • Investigation Re-Opened: On July 2, 2025, the Polish Institute of National Remembrance (IPN) through their Chief Prosecutor quietly and formally re-opened the criminal investigation into the 1943 crash of Liberator AL523.

  • Federal Police Evidence Collection: In March 2026, under an active multi-jurisdictional Mutual Legal Assistance (MLA) request actioned by the Australian Governor-General and the ICCCA, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) formally interviewed the author and collected critical evidence in Adelaide for official delivery to Poland's IPN delegates.

  • Academic Aerodynamic Reviews: The Akademia Sztuki Wojennej (War Studies University in Poznań, Poland) is currently weaponizing historical data to conduct deep aerodynamic and technical research into the exact 16-second flight profile of the sabotaged flight.

⚠️ LEGAL & PRIVACY NOTICE: Due to the highly sensitive and active nature of these international criminal proceedings, specific raw forensic details remain strictly legally restricted. Definitive official findings will be systematically released by the IPN upon the final conclusion of the legal process. The explosive narrative context, however, is available to the public inside the books.
 

Acclaimed by Historians. Proven by Science.

    Peter Urbański's lifelong mission to unlock his father's 1984 deathbeds confessions has set the historical community ablaze. The evidence has been meticulously scrutinized and verified by world-class professors, aviation crash experts, and intelligence historians:

  • Professor Norman Davies ─ Legendary British-Polish historian; recognized and included Urbański's definitive historical conclusions in his authoritative work Plus Ultra (2024).

  • Garth Barnard ─ Renowned WWII Air Crash Investigator and lead documentary producer of Sikorski's Last Flight.

  • Chris Wroblewski ─ Co-author of Sabotage! (2023), confirming the mechanical replication of the unique elevator-jamming sabotage method.

  • Professor Peter Zablocki ─ Acclaimed historian and author of The Death of General Sikorski (2024).

  • Simon Wiesenthal (Historical Encounter) ─ The legendary Nazi hunter personally met a young Peter Urbański at Port Adelaide in 1967. Wiesenthal openly recognized the formidable and terrifying shadow cast by Bronisław—knowing him not merely as a hunter, but as an unmatched wartime killer.

  • Zbigniew Szubanski (Clive): A.K. UNIT 993/W "Revenge Co." Leader and boss of Bronislaw. Author spoke to him and Zbigniew said he was his best assassin to this very author at Bronislaw's place in Ottoway, South Australia.

 

Are You Ready to Behold the Unambiguous Proof?

Because of the classified, sensitive nature of the primary data, Peter Urbański maintains a restricted digital archive for verified readers, journalists, and researchers. Inside, you will secure access to:

  • The Granville Dossier: Genuine letters that were read by the author on March 3, 1984, the author read one that was penned just two months before her high-profile assassination.

  • The Secret Signal: The unmasking and identity reveal of the exact officer who issued the final covert execution signal in Gibraltar.

  • The Smoking Gun: A newly discovered, verified archival photograph placing a deep-cover Bronisław Urbański directly in the immediate security detail alongside General Sikorski's body in 1943—operating entirely without his real name or rank.

  • The Sabotage Blueprint: The 100% effective mechanical method independently cross-verified by modern WWII crash investigators as the sole cause of the 16-second fatal flight profile.

Other Reviews:-

 

Fascinating and worth persevering with...

"....... as the author was working in a language (English) that is not their own. However, the story is very interesting and sheds new potential light on the (Sikorski) assassination. It includes a lot of particularly interesting photos to support the story. I learnt things about the Polish underground as well, that I had not fully appreciated."

ANDREW REEDS - British Military, MI5 Major, SAS, Military Journalist, MOD writer, Journalist, Businessman - Book review on AMAZON in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2021

Most Amazing...

We were taught at school how the Enigma was handed over to the British, how Bertrand fed info back and how Dilly Knox met the team in Warsaw, how a machine was smuggled here (excuse my putting it in a nutshell). However, this book (and I paid for mine) is a fascinating, more detailed insight than you would teach a fifteen-year-old. Good read! "

The most stupendous TRUTHS, in history...

" Peter you are extraordinary, remember the beginning to where you are now, what an incredible journey and a difficult one, but you kept faith, honored your father's wishes and you have come out the other side, with one of the most stupendous TRUTHS, in history. Pat yourself on the back for me, I am just an observer, and I like what I see."

Everyone thought it was the Russians!...

" Everyone thought like I did until March 1984, that it was the Russians that killed Sikorski, sadly this is not the case at all. He (Bronislaw) did such a good job, that NOBODY could work it out as to what exactly happened. All that could be deduced was that somehow the elevator(s) were jammed -but how?","Now we tell you how and why!"

PETER URBANSKI - Author, son of Bronislaw - 27/09/2024

Congratulations!

"....... I know you’ve been steadfast in bringing your father’s story to light, and it sounds like your persistence has contributed to these conclusions by others........

May I say, Congratulations!"
